Gwen and Patrick's Wedding

It's been a while since our last post, but we have a good excuse!  Meet Milo Joel, our perfect and beautiful third-born son.  He was born on December 12th, weighing 8lbs and measuring 21.5" long.  We are completely over the moon for him and have been enjoying our time getting to know this precious little man.

We are now ready to get back into the swing of things, and bring you more wedding prettiness!

So, without further adieu, take a peek at Gwendalyn and Patrick's wedding that was chock full of gorgeous inspiration!

Gwen and Patrick had a sweet, heartfelt ceremony filled with love and laughter.  We had so much fun doing their outdoor portraits, despite the wind!  They and their bridal party were so much fun to work with!

Their pretty reception at Blumen Gardens was overflowing with all the things we love, including twinkle lights and macaroons!

Take a look at a few of our favorite images from their sweet day:

Krina and Kevin's Wedding at the Chicago Botanical Garden

Krina and Kevin were a blast to work with on their wedding day!  They were a relaxed, easy-going couple and so full of love!  Their adorable 1 year old son, Karter, absolutely stole the show -- and absolutely no one minded! These two had a fairly short engagement and made a great decision by choosing to work with Clementine Custom Events, who pulled their beautiful day together seamlessly!  We love that they decided to do their sweet, heart-felt ceremony and fun-filled reception at The Chicago Botanic Gardens in Glencoe, IL.  This location has so much to offer, visually and creatively and is definitely one of our favorite places to work!

Please take a  peek at some of our favorite images, and leave Krina and Kevin some love!

Melissa and Brian's Engagement Session

You all know how much we love our pets, so we are always excited when people want to include their pooches in their sessions!  Could their little guy, Joey, be any sweeter?  That bow-tie just kills me! Melissa and Brian chose to do their Engagement Session at Lilacia Park, and the flowers couldn't have been more perfect!  We then cruised over to the local DQ, before ending up at their house for a few more shots.

I had so much fun with these two, and we can't wait for their wedding next year!

Melissa and Brian's Engagement Session

The other day I met up with Melissa and Brian for their engagement portraits at Lilacia Park in Lombard.  It ended up being a beautiful spring day and I love that they got their pug Joey dressed up for some shots!
